Hotstar is an incredibly popular service in India, and maybe to your surprise, it is even more popular outside India. Do you know why? You can watch fantastic movies and lots of sports on Hotstar India, but the price for this service in India is way cheaper than any similar service in Europe or in the States.
So, how can you watch Hotstar outside India?
I am writing this article from central Europe, but check the pictures below. As you can see, I am watching The Mandalorian on Hotstar in India. Isn't that just fantastic?
Yes, that is correct. On Hotstar, you can watch sports, you can watch TV series and movies, and you can watch Disney+ content (and so much more). And the prices are really low.
But, if you have a subscription and try to visit the Hotstar website outside India, you will just see error messages telling you that Hotstar is unavailable. So, what can you do about that? Is there a way to fix it and be able to stream Hotstar abroad?
Yes... it is quite easy to watch Hotstar abroad. The best solution is to use the VPN services of SurfsharkVPN (which I am using right now to watch The Mandalorian on Hotstar).
This is a really delightful service with great prices, and it works stunningly well with Hotstar India. If you try it and do not like it, then you are protected by their 30-day full refund policy.
So, simply click the link, purchase a subscription, download their application, connect to a server in India, and visit Hotstar.
You can now watch Hotstar abroad.
But, that isn't all. You can also use SurfsharkVPN to unblock American Netflix, to get an American IP address, to watch hundreds of TV shows and movies on Netflix in countries such as France, UK, USA, Canada, Japan, Singapore, and India, that you cannot find on Netflix in other countries. You can even use SurfsharkVPN to unblock BBC abroad
Doesn't all of this sound just to good to be true? However, it is really true, because it works perfectly. No wonder why I use SurfsharkVPN daily to stream all of my favorite content on streaming services and TV networks all across the globe!
If your Hotstar subscription has expired
Do you have a Hotstar account, but your subscription has expired and you don't know how to renew your subscription? Are you suffering from the fact that you need an Indian payment card to pay for your Hotstar subscription? You don't need to suffer anymore, because there is an easy way to fix it.
There is this great deal on Fiverr where an Indian person will actually help you pay for the subscription. I have used it several times myself and you can find the Fiverr deal here.
Create a Fiverr user, and then send a message to the person with the deal for more information on how it works.
If you don't have a Hotstar India account
This is when things get messy. The problem is that you need an Indian cell phone number in order to register a Hotstar account. And getting an Indian cell phone number when living somewhere else is a complete mess. I have been there, done that, tried it... and then when you have registered your account, you need an Indian payment card to actually pay for your subscription.
As a result, I will most likely say that it is hopeless. But, if you want to, you can still click the link above to check the Fiverr deal and ask the person with the deal if they might be able to help you somehow actually creating an account as well. You might be lucky, so it is worth the shot. But, I cannot promise anything.
What to watch on Hotstar?
I like the fact that I can find all the popular HBO series and movies on Hotstar. I can also find the Disney+ series and movies, and even better, I can watch Premier League football on Hotstar. Could life be better than this? I doubt it!
